Older adults at the age of 60 and above made an important contribution in the society. Older adults may associated changes in mental, physical condition, and aging is one of the problem. Physical condition of the older adults may slowly decrease due to decrease strength, decrease coordination and balance, decrease flexibility and mobility. Older adults believe that they can’t do exercise anymore and tends to be less active because they can’t make it anymore due to the disorder.
Normal aging gradually decline the functional loss during stress but little or no effect on daily activities. The primary cause of functional loss on elderly were disorders. Exercise has many benefits in older adults that can preserve skeletal muscle strength, aerobic capacity, and bone density. Exercise can also reduce risk of falls and reduce risk of obesity. There are 4 types of exercise: endurance, muscle strengthening, balance training, and flexibility. (Besdine, R. W. 2013, July). …show more content…
In Therapeutic Exercise Foundation and Techniques it was defined as a system of dynamic resistance training in which a constant external load is applied to the contracting muscle by some mechanical needs (usually a free weight or weight machine) and incrementally increases. In performing PRE we may increase strength the muscles in the older person that may result from increase coordination and balance, increase flexibility and mobility. Older adults performing resistance training has been shown to improve physical function, speed of walking, and the ability to rise from a chair and minimize the incidence of falls. In performing resistance training in older adults they should be closely supervised. Resistance training for adults have with an age of >60-65 years follows a guidelines and special consideration before performing the resistance training. (Kisner, C., & Colby, L.
